Cost of Zinfandel Grapes

I just paid $27 per 36lb case of zinfandel grapes (Santa Clara). Excellent quality, but wondering what others are paying. I'm in the northeast.

Hi Steve

When did you get the Old Vine Zin from Consumers? When we went down last Tuesday the only grapes they would sell us were some Cab Sauv and some Muscat.

The price in Kitchener, Canada was quoted at 29$/36lbs case. Special order.

We picked them up on 9/18, I think they came in from CA on 9/15. We had ordered in advance and they set them aside. Good thing, because we drove 3.5 hours to get there and when we got there at 8:00am there wasn't much out on the floor. Our total order was 62 Cab; 48 Zin; 28 Carignane for three winemakers. They said they would be getting more in over the following three weeks so you might want to call them if you need something. One problem this year is that Ron C "Mr Wine Grapes" at Consumers was having health problems and someone else had to organize the effort. The service was still good but I know they were scrambling to get grapes ordered and get customers' orders filled. We've crushed, pressed and have 150 gal of wine in five 30 gal barrels waiting to be racked in a week or two. Life is good.

Good Luck Steve

I got my old vine zin grapes at the Chelsea Produce Center (near Boston).

I think the prices in Chelsea jumped this year. I was paying $19 - $23 per lug in previous years and $25 - $27 this year.

I paid $20 for Grenache, and $24 for Merlot at Premier in Pittsburgh. Both were perfect.
